Stuðlagil is a remarkable and picturesque canyon located in the Jökuldalur valley in Iceland. Known for its striking basalt column formations, the canyon was revealed relatively recently following the construction of the Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant, which reduced the water flow of the Jökulsá á Dal river, making the canyon more accessible. The basalt columns, which are some of the most impressive in Iceland, line the canyon walls, creating a unique and stunning natural spectacle. The turquoise waters of the river contrast beautifully with the dark columns, making it a popular spot for photographers and nature lovers.
